My Zarathustra

You are the one who roused me from sleep

You are the one who spoke to me

In untimely words against the herd

I knew you, and my heart was stirred

 

Companion I would be to you

As we defiantly sojourn

Shattering, burning, burying all

 

The rapturous call, the divine fall

To go under...

 

We give our blood to earth itself

In addiction and catastrophe

To bring the horizon forward

We give our souls a reason why

 

The ocean drinks polluted streams

And it does not become unclean

Luring, tempting more to strive

To bring themselves again to life

 

Beguiled in sacred alchemy

In fateful transformation

Descend into the depths

Into doubt that leads to death

 

Companion I would be to you

Shattering, burning, burying all

Defiantly we sojourn

Your antler crown frames the dawn

The last men scorn the path of one

Who goes under...

 

As adversary, you made war

Your vitriol not meant for all

Creator, dazzling, above the rest

Reaching through the chrysalis

To spread your wings and fly at last
